Welcome to the greatest sh*t show on earth.
An unfiltered, hilariously chaotic, and completely absurd look at life in Iraq. Packed with bad decisions, close calls, and stories too ridiculous to make up. Welcome to the sh*t show.
If you’ve ever sat through a briefing thinking “there is no way this goes to plan,” this book is your spirit animal.
INSIDE THE SANDBOX
A brutally honest, darkly humorous collection of real-life moments from years spent working in one of the world’s most chaotic environments.
Sh*t Show in the Sandbox captures the absurdity of daily life in Iraq where logic often takes a day off and reality regularly outdoes fiction.
Told through illustrated short stories, these memoirs explore everything from baffling workplace incidents to moments of complete disbelief that can only be processed through humour.
This is not a political statement or a guide to making good decisions. It is one man’s often futile attempt to make sense of years spent navigating a world where nothing ever quite goes to plan
Built from dust, caffeine, and questionable life choices.
Who is behind Sh*t Show in the Sandbox?
Meet Feathers J — The person who turned years of dust, bad decisions, close calls, and unbelievable stories into illustrated comedy. Part storyteller, part survivor, and occasionally part of the problem, Feathers draws on real experiences from life and work in Iraq to create chaotic, darkly funny comic memoirs inspired by the absurd reality of conflict-zone life. This book capture the side of Iraq that rarely makes the headlines: the bizarre, the ridiculous, and the moments you could never explain without sounding completely insane.
